Changes

Well.. life has been interesting since my last angsty emo post. So I thought now would be a perfect time while I’m feeling angsty and emo to write more.

Actually, I’m not angsty and emo at all. Life has been good to me, tiring and busy, but good enough anyway. Work has been going well, busy as ever and keeping me occupied learning new things all the time. We (Blake and myself) have also been looking for a new place to rent, seeing as currently this place is costing me very close to half my pay each month. After a few very frustrating weekends of either looking at shitboxes with worse neighbours, or very nice houses with no interest from the agent re our application, we finally managed to snag another place in Castle Hill. Continuing my proud tradition, I am yet to see the house (Did you know I have never moved into a house that I saw before the day I rocked up with my stuff? Makes life interesting to say the least). Moving will be another fun time, with a reasonably large amount of crap to be shoved into various cars and vans, and a house to clean.

I will miss our current place, I’m currently sitting in my bedroom, looking out over sydney to the south, as far as I can see until it fades into the smog of everyone returning from easter holidays with friends and family. I decided to stay in sydney this weekend, and somewhat regretted it, I have always enjoyed spending time with my family, and perhaps I could have picked a better weekend to be completely slovenly, four days is a little too long for my liking. I guess it came down to the fact that there was nobody around really.

Autumn has well and truly arrived, my second favourite season of the year after winter. The temps have been dropping, snowfall predictions starting to show 5% odds, and friends are heading back to the snowies for another season in that magical town. Whats that? Sounds like I miss it? No kidding. I’ve had to push myself very hard for the last three months to stop myself from running back down there. I especially miss the people, the environment and the atmosphere of the entire place, that freedom mixed with the cold mountain air is like a drug for me. I long for next year or the year after, when I intend to head back, perhaps more permanently. I can think of few places nicer to live for a while as I try and get my life into some sort of shape.

For the time being, I will have to be content with sitting on our balcony without shoes on, pretending its four degrees outside. Alas, this isnt so, but I think I will certainly be returning for a weekend or two this year to try and get my fix.

Thats all for now I guess, I’m still not sure what to do with the last six hours of my evening, but it will be something suitably mind numbing to fit with the standard my weekend has taken on.

Hope everyone had a happy and safe Easter long weekend.
